Grand Bling

Here's one that I did for my niece on my husband's side.  We bought her this ginormous bling ring and it didn't look quite nice sitting on the ring tag.   So I decided to whip up this tag to attach the ring and give it to her.  Behind the birdcage was the handwritten message.

Can you see where the ring is?

 

New Year Blooms

I tag this as the last project I did in 2011, and the first I have done in 2012.  I was making the bloom brooches in the night for 4 friends who were different from one another.  The tags to put them on were pieced together on the first morning of 2012.

As you can see, it is a fast and easy way to pull together a gift and make it look more complete than just giving it plain.  I find that putting a little consideration and some feeling will bring you a long way in putting together the final product. 

If you have some great ideas for displaying and giving your gifts, do share your idea with me!
